    US car sales 2026: new vehicle sales by month, brand and EV share (Cox Automotive estimates)

    How many new cars were sold in the US in September 2026?

    The United States sold an estimated 1,326,796 new light vehicles in September 2026, according to Cox Automotive, at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of about 16.0 million. That is 4.4% below August's 1,387,221, and MarkLines' preliminary count of 1,326,341 puts September up 4.8% on September 2025. Cox's figure is an estimate and is corroborated by MarkLines within 0.04%. Release note for the previous month: US car sales August 2026.

    January to September sales total an estimated 12,038,144, the sum of Cox's monthly figures (Cox prints no year-to-date unit total, and it has revised some earlier months, so treat the total as accurate to within about 0.1%). The latest electric-vehicle share Cox has published is August's 5.7%, an estimated 78,895 units; its September EV report is not out yet. The United States has no national registration body, so every US figure here is an industry estimate and labelled as one.
